Black Iron Crown

The black smoke shot straight into the sky, the flames illuminated the entire night sky, and the screams of struggle and screams of men and women resounded throughout the village, and the smell of blood lingered in the nostrils.

Although the prairie cavalry were not tall, they were still powerful. They wore iron armor or leather armor, and kicked open the houses of the residents unceremoniously. The simple rooms could not resist such brute force.

The prairie cavalry rushed into the house with their knives in their hands.

"No! Please sir! Don't do it!"

A Ridka man knelt on the ground and kept begging and crying, his forehead was knocked on the ground again and again, and blood oozes out, and the bloody look is very scary.

In front of him, two prairie cavalrymen were grabbing two women, one old and one young. They were already dressed in rags, and their clothes were torn in tatters during the struggle and resistance.

The prairie cavalry, as a man, almost crushed the two women. One of them grinned grinningly and spoke the prairie language, while carrying the young girl in front of him on his shoulders.

Regardless of the girl's struggle, she wanted to leave the room with another person.

Seeing this, the man kneeling on the ground hurriedly stood up and grabbed him, begging: "Don't do this, sir! I will give you everything! You let my wife and daughter go!"

The prairie cavalry couldn't understand Redka, and was very annoyed when they saw the other party blocking him. He casually threw the girl on the shoulder on the ground and cursed.

When the man saw that the other party put his daughter down, he thought it was the big man in the prairie in front of him showing mercy, and hurriedly thanked him.

However, before he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck, and a sharp machete slashed across his neck.

A line of blood spurted out suddenly, spraying the entire room like rain.

His wife and daughter watched the husband and father wailing in pain as they fell powerlessly to the ground, but it didn't help at all, and they were picked up again and taken outside the room.

The prairie cavalry tied it with hemp rope and put it on the horse's back.

Afterwards, the two prairie cavalry entered the house again, glanced at the bloody corpse on the ground, and began to search for something in the room.

Sure enough, after searching for a while, two prairie cavalry lifted a board on the ground and found a cellar.

In this small cellar, there were three bags of grain, which seemed to weigh nearly 150 kilograms, but just as they were about to take these things away, they heard a howl.

After some searching, it was discovered that there was actually a child who looked seven or eight years old in the cellar.

The two looked at each other without any hesitation, and both had ferocious and sick expressions on their faces.

After a while, the wailing disappeared, and two prairie cavalry walked out of the house carrying grain.

Then a big fire rose above the house, and the light of the fire shone in the night sky as if a sharp sword was about to pierce the darkness, almost making the whole sky glow red.

There were more than thirty people in this group of prairie cavalry, and the village was completely destroyed so far.

Except for the old woman, everyone was tied hands and feet and put on the horse's back, and the grain was put on the wagon that was looted from the village,

Pigs, cattle and sheep drive forward.

Although this will affect their speed of action, they are still unwilling to waste any supplies after living a hard life on the grassland.

They left just like that, amidst the cries of the women, and behind them, a village that had been able to live well had already been reduced to ashes, and hundreds of innocent souls lingered above the ruins.

This kind of tragedy spread throughout the entire eastern land, and it was also developing to other areas of the empire. The prairie cavalry relied on their fast horses to go back and forth between villages and towns.

Of course, their slightly correct speed is not that fast, after all, horses are still not as good as humans for a long time.

However, their advantage is that the empire has no power to resist at this time, and the plunder has lasted for two full months, but they have not encountered any institutional resistance.

Countless villages were turned into scorched earth under their atrocities, and even a dozen small market towns were conquered and plundered by them.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and the envoys sent by the imperial capital have also arrived at this land that is being ravaged by the prairie people.

The speed of the prairie people's plundering is not fast. Up to now, they have only advanced to a position 200 kilometers west of Karen Fort. A little further west will be guarded by the empire. They haven't even finished plundering the east, so there is no need to attack the city for the time being. Pull out the village.

The envoy carried the little emperor's banner and was accompanied by many followers.

They were quickly spotted, the golden lion flag on the red background fluttering in the wind was very conspicuous, and the nearby prairie cavalry quickly controlled them.

Fortunately, they took a translator and explained their identities to these cavalrymen.

Although they were barbaric, they also knew that this was a major matter for the Great Khan, so they did not dare to kill them lightly, but instead escorted them to the big tent of Hamel Khan.

"Great Khan, do you want to see them?" A Da Nayan who left his tribe and chose to serve Hamel Khan personally asked.

Hamel Khan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Then let them in, and I'll see what their emperor means!"

In the final analysis, Hamel Khan does not think that he has the ability to completely destroy this huge country.

If it was thirty years ago, he might still have this ambition, but the raids on the grassland by Emperor Kaffit back then caused heavy losses to all the ministries, and they have not recovered after so many years.

At the beginning, there were 30,000 warriors and 150,000 people in the Alshan tribe alone, but now it has only recovered half of them after so many years. It is conceivable how cruel the policy that Emperor Kaffit implemented on the grassland.

A mere 35,000 people, although many of them are young and strong elites, Hamel Khan doesn't think they can attack cities and fortresses all the way, conquer impenetrable fortresses, and then wipe out the country.

At the same time, he also knew that there was a country of Ridkar people in the north waiting for an opportunity at any time, so he just wanted to make use of it.

At that time, the death of Prince Liepei Wuxun really made him extremely angry, but now he has already regained his sobriety, so it is natural that interests come first.

It is true that he can plunder and then retreat to the grassland, but there are still a lot of things that he plundered.

After the negotiation, Hamel Khan felt that he could get more.

Anyway, the Ridka people didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts, and at worst they threatened them to compromise by continuing to attack.

The expression on Hamel Khan's face became more and more cheerful when he thought of this. After obtaining most of the property in the eastern region, he could still blackmail the empire. Why not do such a good way?

Thinking of these happy things, time flies quickly.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the big tent, and Hamel Khan hurriedly suppressed his smile and remained serious.
